Not allowed by who? The school? It's a national nickname.

Was that maybe the chapter that's been talked about that disaffiliated with National, but still uses Phi Gamma Delta as their letters? I'm confused as well.

They are affliated with the nationals but just do not like FIJI. They prefer Phi Gam. My brother and father are members of the chapter. They are the Theta chapter and were featured last year in the magazine for making some major milestone in years (cant remember). Its them and I know some Phi gams from UGA that also prefer Phigam over FIJI.
Sidenote the only time i have ever heard them use FIJI is the annual FIJI Island party in the spring....

Yes, he's correct. They are a really strong chapter but just prefer to go by the traditional Greek letters.
